Our Lives Together

Chapter 30

"...so...everyone followed us here?" Mei asked looking at the quite large crowd of people
"Shai invited us!"
"Yeah we had nothing to do with this!"
"We only wanted a good vacation!"
"Quiet quiet. So why would you invite them?" Mei asked looking at Shai
"Don't you think it's been a long time since we've all spent time together?" Shai asked
"Yeah. The more the merrier you know?" Matsuri said
"Himeko?" Mei asked looking at her
"It was Shai's idea" Himeko said
"Himeko" Mei said
"Mei, I trust Yuzu protecting you but Isha can be a real bitch" Himeko said
"And if she tried anything then we'd immediately attack the bitch" Shai said
"Haaa....that doesn't mean you had to get everyone here to stalk us. I can deal with her myself. I don't need any of you to protect me" Mei said
"I-I understand" Himeko said
"Well we weren't going to stalk you. That was their job. I was actually here for a vacation" Matsuri said
"Don't mess with Isha or do anything about her. Leave her alone. If she does anything then I will handle the situation myself" Mei said
"Eh? " Himeko asked
"Yes. I won't run away from her and if I do then she'll still think I'm an easy prey" Mei said and looked over at Yuzu who immediately looked away
"You have a lot of explaining to do when we get back to the hotel" Mei said and Yuzu whimpered softly
"So want to go to the beach with us? We planned on going there tomorrow. I mean you're not busy with work right?" Matsuri said
"Yeah! Join us, Meimei" Himeko said smiling nervously
"Good try on changing the topic but I'll let this all slide. It'd be nice to spend time with friends" Mei said
"Of course it'll be fun. Especially for Yuzu who would definitely love to see Mei's-ack!"
"You seriously need to learn to keep your mouth shut" Harumin said as she wrapped her arm around her neck
"U-uhm! S-so we're good right?" Himeko asked
"Yes...unless you are keeping another secret from me" Mei said and Yuzu held her
"Nope. Nothing else" Yuzu said
"Were you planning to hide away from me the entire time?" Mei asked
"Not really? I mean we were going to surprise you but ended up getting caught" Shai said
"And I'm really sorry Meimei for keeping this from you. I even wasted your precious time with Okogi-san" Himeko said
"It's alright, Himeko. But please don't keep things hidden from me ever again. Either way I will find out about it" Mei said
"I-I understand" Himeko said and Yuzu gulped. She trembled a little and Mei glanced at her
"...is there something else?" Mei asked
"No" Yuzu said smiling warmly
"Yuzu-chan is so dead" Matsuri whispered softly
"Hush" Harumin said
"Well it was nice seeing you all but we must get going. I have an appointment later today" Mei said
"H-huh? You do? But I thought today yo-"
"Bye everyone. Let's go, Yuzu" Mei said as she grabbed her hand
"M-mei?" Yuzu asked as she was dragged away by Mei. After the two left, there was complete silence in the room
"Yuzu is dead" Matsuri said
"Do you think she'll know about the rest of your little plan?" Sasha asked
"Maybe..." Shai said
"Knowing Mei...she is going to find out about everything else" Himeko said
"Then why didn't you tell her the whole truth?" Matsuri asked
"That's Yuzu's problem now" Himeko said
"I'm sure everything will turn out fine in the end...right?" Harumin asked
"I've already spoken with my father about the situation. We have a few friends who'll make sure no one gets hurt..." Shai said
"What makes you so sure that Riana won't backstab us?" Himeko asked
"You still don't trust her?" Shai asked
"Why the hell should I trust that bitch? She could be playing along and doing all this to be seen as the good person on our side" Himeko said
"I highly doubt Shai would let anyone betray her. You must want a death wish if you decide to do such thing" Hana giggled
"I...I don't plan on going that far" Shai said nervously
"You always say that but your other you is saying something else" Hana said
"Momokino-san is lucky to have such a good protective girlfriend. I mean who would mess with you knowing they could die?" Diane said
"Date a criminal then" Nitski said
"It's hard to control this idiot when she loses control sometimes" Himeko said
"Especially when she is drunk. Anyways Cyndi can we have sex?" Nitski asked and Cyndi punched her shoulder
"Don't say stuff like that in public" Cyndi said
"Are you sure you're not going to regret being with an idiot like her?" Matsuri asked
"I'm wondering the same. Harumin must really like you if she's stayed by your side this long" Himeko said
"Listen here you bushy eyebrow bit-mm!"
"Enough" Harumin said as she covered Matsuri's mouth
"Mm! Mmm!" Matsuri exclaimed
"Are you still going with the plan?" Sasha asked
"I'm not sure. I want to call Yuzu but uhh...m-maybe it's best if I wait" Shai said
Hopefully Yuzu survives...
